Deputies: Victims are local children

Madison County deputies have arrested a Japton business owner for allegedly producing child pornography.

Capt. Robert Boyd, with the Madison County Sheriff's office, said a search warrant was served Tuesday afternoon at the Japton Store on Hwy 295.

Boyd said the owner, James Daniel Hanna, lives in an apartment connected to the store.Several parents came forward to Madison County deputies and said Hanna had been engaging in sexual misconduct with young children in the area, said Boyd.

Hanna was producing child pornography and there are at least three local young children who are victims, Boyd told 40/29 News Wednesday morning.

“There are three victims that we know of and they are all under the age of 16. We got about 100 photos in our search,” said Boyd.

Deputies are asking any parents who know their children may have had contact with Hanna to come forward.
